Manufacturing Systems Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own Manufacturo administration end to end: configuration, user roles and permissions, routings, work instruction templates, and release management
• Serve as the primary point of contact with the Manufacturo team for support escalations, feature requests, and new releases
• Design, build, and maintain integrations between the MES and adjacent systems (ERP, PLM, quality, and inventory tools)
• Translate manufacturing engineering intent into structured, executable work instructions and process routings
• Define and maintain production data structures so that metrics like scrap, rework, repair, cycle time, and takt adherence are accurate and reportable
• Train technicians, leads, and engineers on the system and drive adoption across the floor
• Troubleshoot transaction failures, data discrepancies, and workflow blockers in real time so production keeps moving
• Identify and eliminate friction: reduce clicks, automate manual data entry, and continuously improve how work gets executed and recorded
• Support audits and compliance activities with traceable, well-structured production records

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, manufacturing systems, or industrial engineering in a hardware production environment
• Direct experience administering or configuring an MES platform (Manufacturo, iBase-t Solumina, Tulip, Siemens Opcenter, or similar); Manufacturo experience is a strong plus
• Working knowledge of how MES and ERP systems interact: work orders, BOMs, material consumption, completions, and confirmations
• Comfort with structured data and system logic; ability to read API documentation, work with CSV/JSON data, and partner with software teams
• Strong floor presence: you understand how technicians actually work and design systems around reality, not the other way around

Qualifications

• Clear written and verbal communication; you can translate between production staff, engineers, and software vendors
• Bachelor's degree in engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience

Skills

• Experience in aerospace, defense, or another regulated manufacturing environment (AS9100, ISO 9001, ITAR) is a plus
• Experience leading an MES implementation or migration is a plus
• Experience with ERP platforms (SAP S/4HANA, NetSuite, Odoo, or similar) and PLM tools is a plus
• Leverage lean manufacturing background: takt time, cycle time, standard work, and continuous improvement methods is a plus
• Experience building production dashboards or reporting pipelines from MES data is a plus

Benefits

• US Salary Range $183,500 - $257,000 USD
